Trained in Sadness

Mild Sadness – Taking a 15 minute online training course at work.

Confused Sympathetic Sadness – A coworker mentions that the course took him well over an hour.

Disappointed Sadness – Realizing that you had accidently skipped the way too long test at the end of the course.

Ashamed Sadness – Scoring under the mandatory 75% on the test and knowing that you will have to retake it.

Pitiful Sadness – Your eyes opening to the fact that you inadvertently only took one 15 minute course and there are about a dozen more 15 minute components that now became painfully visible to you just now on the computer screen.

Sort-of-Justified in a Dufus-Sort-of-Way but-with-a-Pinch-of-Relief Sadness – Since you only took about 7% of the course, it explains your poor performance on the test.

Anticipation Sadness – Knowing 93% of the course and test will be waiting for me on Monday morning.

Coming-to-Terms Sadness – Recognizing that I probably need online training in how to effectively take online training. Just sad.
